These guys are awesome...I live just outside of Akron and they are the closest dealership that knows and services Buells!

If I can get off work I'll be there for sure.

It was a disappointment last year looking for a shop to service my bike. I called at least 5 different shops before I got to yours.

I can't say enough about the service...and it was great to see Buell's on the showroom floor.


Always worth the extra few miles to your shop! Keep up the good work!

We are pleased to announce the Wes and Leah Orloff will be presenting at the Thunder and Lightning event. Wes and Leah are both engineers at Harley-Davidson and are both avid Buell racers.

Wes has been racing Buells since 1999, highlights being attaining the 2008 Battle of the Twins Formula 2 championship on a Buell XB12. Wes has also earned numerous battle of the twins national wins over the years, Fastrack Endurance wins on an XB9R, and even the first recognized national road race win on an XBRR. Wes is the two time defending Harley money class track champion at Union Grove Harley shootout series, hot street champion at the Country Harley Drags, and past AMRA race event winner, all on his 10 second Buell lightning drag bike. Wes also holds a World Landspeed record on a Buell XB9 (MPS-PP 1000cc: 169.321 mph). Orloff is an avid supermotard competitor in the summer, switching to ice racing during the winter months, all on a KTM525SMC. In addition to his racing exploits, Wes also helps teach a road race school with Sportbike Track Time.

Leah started road racing in 2004, and has become a consistent top ten finisher in the Battle of the Twins Formula 3 class, racing a Buell XB9 and Suzuki SV650. Leah has also taken over the reigns of WFO Racing’s championship winning Buell X1 Lightning drag bike, all ready going quicker and faster than Wes. Leah also competes on the supermotard and ice racing circuit with Wes. Wins are just a matter of time for this fearless competitor….

Hope all of you will have a chance to meet and talk with both Wes and Leah.

Thanks for the geography lesson. We are about 50 miles west of the "Northeast".

It really is . . . it's about 500 miles but if you play your cards right there are some spectacular roads along the way and (if I recall correctly) we had a great view of the lake from near their place.

It really ought to be neat . . . I've been doing the calcs.
